The app is good overall but the app does not allow the parent to review chores that were completed weeks prior and it’s a hassle when transferring big amounts of money to my child’s card.

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback with us! Currently, the app doesn't support reviewing chores from previous weeks, but we appreciate you letting us know how helpful this would be. Regarding your money transfers, you can easily use our 'Quick Transfer' feature for instant, on-the-spot moving of funds, or set up 'Auto top-up' in your account settings so your parent balance stays topped up automatically. We're always working to improve, so we appreciate you taking the time to share this with us 😊
We are really enjoying the app
My boys are enjoying getting paid for chores and when they want to use there money we have no issues. There are no hidden fees like busy kid which is who we switched from. They would use there card for busy kid to buy roblox and the transaction would not go through but busy kid would still take the money and we wouldn't get it back. Acorn does not do that. Also they have savings goals they can set my teen has really enjoyed that. The boy also really like being paid to learn about how to budget and handle money with their lessons.

Love this app for my boys. Keep them doing their chores. Also when visiting placing out eating or even shopping. They have their money to use for what they want from what they earn for the week.

Hard to set up
Hard to set up, not intuitive, overly complicated overall. Very slow to transfer funds, rendering it almost useless. Somehow accounts got mixed up and my child has access to my bank account and has been transferring funds to herself. Not easy to figure out how to fix. Wish I never started it.

Transferring an amount over $100 From my bank account takes an extraordinarily long time. Other app transfers take hours while your app has taken as long as four days.

Hi Maureen, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback and review. We completely understand how important it is to have your funds available quickly. Transfers from a linked bank account travel through the standard ACH banking network. This process typically takes 2 to 3 business days to safely clear and reflect in your parent balance. Should you wish to add funds to the account more quickly, I would advise linking a card for instant payments
